Caught in Arctic winds
by Maria Scheel, Aarhus University, Roskilde, Denmark
Corvus corax (common raven) caught in flight during fieldwork in Zackenberg, Northeast Greenland.
It observed us for half an hour, flying closer and closer every time. How curious it must have been about the few humans it sees in the Far North.
